En af de spritnye tilføjelser i det kommende Diablo III, som tidligere spil i serien ikke har budt på, er de dedikerede PvP-arenaer, hvor to hold kæmper mod hinanden.
Men denne del af spillet når ikke at blive klar til udgivelsen, meddeler Blizzard.
I et indlæg på Diablo III-bloggen skriver game director Jay Wilson blandt andet:
As we're counting down the days until we're ready to announce a release date for Diablo III, we've come to realize that the PvP game and systems aren't yet living up to our standards. Today, we wanted to let you know that we've made the difficult decision to hold back the PvP Arena system and release it in a patch following the game's launch. After a lot of consideration and discussion, we ultimately felt that delaying the whole game purely for PvP would just be punishing to everyone who's waiting to enjoy the campaign and core solo/co-op content, all of which is just about complete.
Wilson nævner ikke nogen konkrete tidsplaner for PvP-patchen.
